Grow Your Own Car? Why Yes it's Possible!

You did not misread that. It is now possible (thank you transitive process from math) to grow your own car. Essentially, that is what the 2 car designers Kenneth Cobonpue and Albrecht Birkner have done making the "Phoenix"

The Phoenix is a real car made of bamboo. And if you didn't know, bamboo is stronger then steel. Is there anything that can't be solved in a garden? The vehicle comes in at a little over twelve and a half feet long or some where between 3 and 4 meters.
